Hi Wes--

I've just finished reading this very long thread and is somewhat at a
loss to why pkg_version needs to be modified at all.  If it's for
'pkg_version -c' (which I wish I could make disappear), all it does is 
to emit a shell script which, among other things, calls pkg_add.  But 
isn't pkg_add going to check the signature by default anyways?

If there's something else (or something more complex) that's needed, I 
don't understand what it is.

(I think that the ability to have signed packages, however, is a Good 
Thing (TM).)

Cheers,

Bruce.
